Letter To My Daughter

Product Information

You are the most beautiful rose of all the gardens who just happened to be gifted to us by God Almighty. Dear daughter, as your parents we are so proud of you! At 8:30 in the morning he spoke at my door. He said, “Baby, come down and have coffee with me, by the way—I got your note.” You’re growing up to be a smart, independent woman, and the little things I see you do daily inspired me to write this love letter to you. It was a special day for me as I had become your father. You have been very precious to me. I believe that you enjoy the special bond we share among each other as father daughter duo. Together we indeed make a good team and played pranks with your mother. I indeed enjoyed the way it has been.

My mother said, “There is no reason to ruin three lives; our family is going to have a wonderful baby.”If she feels rewarded for doing her best, she’s more likely to continue from early childhood well into her adult years. I want to tell you that I love you from the bottom of my heart. You may not know, but you were the reason I began to come home early from work; you are also the reason I started to smile a lot more and get motivated to work hard to give you the life you deserve.

But in your times of struggle, here’s what you should know: What you say during your weakest moments will remain in the other person’s head for a long time. Lupton, Mary Jane (1998). Maya Angelou: A Critical Companion. Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, p. 20. ISBN 978-0-313-30325-8. Grenier, Richard (29 November 1993). "Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now (Book)". National Review 45 (23): 76.Whether she is recalling such lost friends as Coretta Scott King and Ossie Davis, extolling honesty, decrying vulgarity, explaining why becoming a Christian is a “lifelong endeavor,” or simply singing the praises of a meal of red rice–Maya Angelou writes from the heart to millions of women she considers her extended family. I know that marriage and raising children will be the most challenging thing you will ever experience in your life, but it will also be the most rewarding thing you will ever experience. Keep in mind the reason for your pride matters, too. If you gush over your daughter’s beauty, for example, but ignore the merits of her mind or personality, she’ll notice. From the very beginning, I found a maturity in you. Unlike any other kid, I had hardly seen you throwing any tantrum. You were always well mannered and never yelled at me, dad or anyone elder to you. This is the reason that you had won hearts of even your teachers. I remember whenever I used to be called for the parents and teachers meeting, all your teachers used to praise about your behavior and your excellence in academics. It used to give a joy to me. The way you handle challenges is amazing. I find it inspiring how you cope with being told you can’t do something. You don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do (other than your daddy and me). We love you so much! Please take care of yourself.

Baby girl, you are my biggest accomplishment and nothing will ever compare. The day you entered my life was the day everything else became a little less important. Good daughters are not born; they are raised. But a great daughter is sent directly from God. You are the greatest daughter ever. God bless you! a b c d Brownworth, Victoria (05 October 2008). "A heartfelt 'Letter'", The Baltimore Sun. Retrieved 27 December 2013. I have always wanted the very best for you, and I am ready to do anything a mother can do to help her child. I know you are an adult, but I see that you are struggling and I want, more than anything, to protect you. The fact that I can’t, leaves me in pieces. I can’t exactly just leave my little girl with a quote. That wouldn’t describe all my feelings toward her properly.You might be surprised to find this letter from your father, but today I want to pour my heart out and tell you how much you mean to me. Share your fundamental values with your daughter. Teaching kids from our hearts requires some extra effort. “I’m not sure if I’ve ever told you this, but I’ve never cared that much about money. I treasure my family. I love your mother. You and your brother are worth more to me than anything. My faith in God is the very ground I stand on, and being part of a faith community has made all the difference to this family. You may not realize this, but I passed up a huge promotion when you were little so we could stay in this community where we are loved and you have friends…” 6. “Let me tell you about the day you were born.” Some people think that graduation marks the end of the best years of your life, but I have to disagree. Your best years are still to come, and I encourage you to look to the future with hope and excitement. No need to make stuff up, just affirm what’s going right. 5. “I want you to know what my treasures are.”

I don’t mind staying awake at night for you. The bright smile you give me makes up for my sleepless nights. You make my days brighter too. One look at your face and all my tiredness melts away.If you need a shoulder to rest, do not forget that I am right here for you. You were a fighter and continue to be one. I remember the first time you called me dad, and I knew it was the most beautiful sound I’d ever heard or would ever hear. It’s been years, and I still stand by it. There are those who would like to see themselves as philanthropists. Philanthropists often are represented by committees and delegations. They are disconnected from the recipients of their generosity. I am not a member of that gathering. Rather I like to think of myself as charitable. The charitable say in effect, “I seem to have more than I need and you seem to have less than you need. I would like to share my excess with you.” Fine, if my excess is tangible, money or goods, and fine if not, for I learned that to be charitable with gestures and words can bring enormous joy and repair injured feelings.
